RE: Close

Thank you Victor, really appreciate the help!

It may not help the sound quality to do the azimuth, but I figure it can't hurt?

And it is nice to learn about the tape recording. What a huge leap forward it was when it was invented in the late 30's.

And I see there are musicians that still covet the sound qualities of analog tape, to the point where there are numerous expensive digital devices and software in use to try and mimic those qualities.

I have an old TEAC demagnitizer, I will do that today. Deck powered off, unplugged. Power up demagnitizer at least 1 meter from deck, move very slowly to the deck, move demagnitizer very slowly around heads, capstan, tape guides...

What could go wrong :)
